I've been looking for a power supply for my first build and when I just picked up a random evga PSU that  has enough watts to run my system. Should I change for  a more quality one?(on international sites products are way cheeper but, living in Greece, there are many payment restrictions.So im forced in buing products from Greek sites which  are usually way more expensive than the other ones,so pcpartpicker may give a $1800  price point but i have very well passed my $2000 budget ) Here's the part list: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/

Ooopps wrong link here's the actual one : https://pcpartpicker.com/list/ctcByf

What random EVGA power supply?

Good companies can make shitty products, and brand doesn't matter as much as the specific model number.

When in doubt, re-format.

Use the permalink. Also, try to open that link in incognito mode.

Seasonic doesn't have a single bad PSU.

I think you missed the point of my message.

so... where did you get that list from? because that's the exact list i made for someone from the UK last night ;)

The list he gave you isn't a list at all. He didn't link correctly so what youre seeing is the last list YOU made on pcpartpicker.

When in doubt, re-format.

That's not the link. On the PCPP page there should be a permalink. Post that.

Can you provide links to the store you can buy from? This would help us know what is available to you at what price.

 

Don't worry about the fact that it may be in Greek. I'll manage.

A quality 450w can power your system, but I'll recommend you three 550w options.

 

A good, inexpensive option would be the Corsair CX 550M.

http://www.skroutz.gr/s/8570592/Corsair-CX-Series-550W.html

 

For a little more, you could also get the Corsair Vengeance 550M is a better, version of the CX550M where it offer a better rifle bearing fan, full japanese caps, and a multi rail design. http://www.skroutz.gr/s/9000862/Corsair-Vengeance-V550M.html

 

The Super Flower Leadex Gold 550w is a higher-end design with full modularity
